They should just compress it into a day and stop this piss farting around. No one gives a **** about "touring the facility's" and all the other time wasting crap
I think they should turn it into a lucky dip.
 
Feel a bit sorry for West with fan's expectations. Really good first VFL season and got a crack with 4 possessions against a bottom 8 team. Going from this to replacing 20+ games is a very tough ask for a young key forward. He didnt even make it through the whole season with the physical toll getting to him. Will be a slower burn until he gets hardened enough to put up with what undersized key forwards cop in the seniors.

The thing is, despite being a leading goal scorer for 5+ years, mihochek has never been a massive goal kicker, only scored more than 40 goals once from memory, therefore all West (or Buller, McStay) need to do to replace/cover Mihochek as a baseline is to compete in the contest and bring the ball to ground.

As long as west (or Buller) competes, then he will go a long way to covering mihochek, even if he only averages 1 goal a game.
 
Sullivan would be a delist today, had he not been given extended time to prove himself in the AFL.
People are writing off our kids even before they've had a chance to prove themselves is my point.
The 2 VFL games you're talking about didn't MAKE Sullivan - if that was the case Finn who was killing it in the VFL on his return from injury, would till be on the list.

Extended AFL exposure is the deciding factor - that's they only way the kids prove they are better than Sullivan.

Re the bolded - Finn was killing it in the VFL? I must have slept through those games.
 
Morris. He's a fair dinkum meat head. The only noise is in Tom's empty skull.

“I’m convinced if a club came with an excellent deal for Jordan De Goey, Collingwood would seriously look at it,” Morris said on Trade Radio.

“Potentially, with an excellent deal, I think the Pies would consider it after speaking to rival clubs.

“I think they’d want a top 10 pick at least for Jordan De Goey.

“It’s clubs like St Kilda and Adelaide, that’s who I think would consider it.

“I’m just watching this, it’s nothing more than that. Don’t think I’m saying he’s going to go or he wants out or the Pies want to trade him.

“But there’s enough noise around it now that rival clubs would make a move if they believed he could get thim out.

“I think he’d prefer to stay, and it’s a long shot, but I’m keeping a close eye on it.”

COLLINGWOOD could use one of the picks it got in the Brody Mihocek trade to land Jack Buller from Sydney.

Buller wants to get to the Magpies on a two-year deal, but the Swans have dug in and offered a two-year deal of their own to keep him in Sydney.

AFL.com.au's Riley Beveridge is reporting the 2026 third-round pick tied to Melbourne, which the Pies got from the Dees in the Mihocek trade, could get the deal done.

The Magpies also got Pick 61 in this year's draft for Mihocek, while Pick 71 ended up at the Demons.

"Collingwood still hasn't come to the table with an official offer for Jack Buller," Beveridge said on Gettable Trade Desk.

"We've spoken about whether or not the Brody Mihocek pick the Pies got in that trade with Melbourne might come into play here. I think if they were able to table the future three that they got from the Demons that is tied to Melbourne, I reckon that might be enough to sway the Swans.

"But at the moment, that has not been on the table from the Pies." – Martin Smith
 
I love Will Ferrell movies. Our 13 year old granddaughter from Sydney recently stayed with us, and I made her watch a couple of Will Ferrell movies after dinner. She looked bewildered.

Kids. Where’s their sense of humour? Probably lost it in one of her devices.
Elf was a classic.
The snowball fight with his rapid fire accuracy being the highlight.
The long range shot getting the kid running away (and the urgggh sound effect) gets me every time.
 
Email the club if you want to vent about our trade period . Won’t achieve anything on here
Dear Collingwood,

This trade period has been ****ed. Please advise what improvements we’ve made this off season and what the **** you plan on doing about it.

Warmest regards

If ANY club comes to the club with an excellent deal for ANY player, the club should seriously look at it

Honestly these journos man, there’s gotta be some stories out there, go looking for them and stop reporting on your “I’m watching”
 
I'm sure some will be relieved if we don't grab Simpkin but we still need a mid for 2026 lol. If we don't land anyone then we'll have to hope some of our existing guys step up in a pretty significant way. It's really not ideal.
How many times do you need to be told that Long and Allan are the answer!
 
The Simpkin trade isn’t happening right now, as we don’t have anything to offer clearly. It can change of course.

Barrett said today the club will continue to pursue possibilities around him. It’s likely why we won’t know anything until Wednesday night.

I'm backing in Pez, Beau & Josh to step up for midfield time in 26.
 
Lets move on


I'd prefer that our list management team utilises all the seconds available to them during this period to figure out ways to wheel and deal to make our list better, and not take direction on how to do their jobs from a Gettable co-host. He should go back to being a rude pig to members of the public that call in and melting about Liverpool FC.
